Why???? Why can’t they fix the problem(s) with the commenting? It’s been a couple of years now with the same issues. So many other sites don’t have these problems.
Ditch the tech company; forget their name; that redid the site and hire someone that knows what they’re doing to fix these issues.

This is “Brooklyn’s most read website about real estate, renovation
and neighborhood news”, but yet, its readers can’t comment without encountering technical problems.

And I have to say I liked the pink, because I liked the gentleman who owned the house. He was so courtly, always walking down Seventh Avenue, impeccably dressed and always carrying his umbrella as a walking stick – and this at the age of 92. A true treasure.

Ok, I liked the pink when I first moved to Park Slope, and also later in the 80’s when I lived close to it on that block. Though I did find the rather ugly lime green that used to be on the trim on the house next to it, the next house up the block, a little garish, when taken in combination with the muted pink.

Then the pink later got painted that disgusting Peptol Bismol shade of pink, and I hated it (but no longer had to see it every day.) The green may have been gone by then, can’t remember. So, disgusting Peptol Bismol pink (v. earlier muted shade of pink) gone – I’m happy.

In the photo above, the paint color looks close to brownstone, unlike the excrement-colored shade of paint on the house-that-formerly-had-ugly-lime-green-trim next door. I’ve used A. Malek, and think they do good work. They matched brownstone color very well for us when redoing our stoop. And it looks like they picked a good shade of brownstone-colored paint, if this is indeed paint, here.

I’m with combustiblegirl, I live around the corner and it always made me smile, kind of an ‘eff you’ to the snobs around here. Now it just looks like every other house — kinda’ like the way their inhabitants all look alike. Sigh ..

Building on the corner of Orange and Hicks owned by the Witnesses, when they cleaned the facade it was damaged. Landmarks gave them permission to repaint it white. Now sold off by the JWs, an apartment bldg.

To me, painting over your brownstone—whatever color—is a mistake.
It’s the Brooklyn’s urban equivalent of aluminum “clapboards” or cheap composite “shingles.” It just says fake, fake, fake. The character of the materials is ruined.
That said, if I have to vote, I’ll go with the brown turkey over the pink flamingo.
